Above are some products that I really enjoy and always go back to. I’m really not one to spend lots of money on beauty products, because I’d much rather buy clothes or shoes (that’s granted that I even have money in the first place, which is rare). I also can’t justify the pay out considering similar, if not better, cheaper versions exist. Maybe after I finish uni and when I have a fulltime job this will all change but for now this is my belief.I’m intrigued: Expensive or not, what are your favourite or ‘go-to’ products?

I’ve been trying to keep up with collections featured in NYFW and LFW, but it’s all kind of melding together now, especially now that it’s Milan’s turn. I honestly don’t know how the models and fashion journos do it.My highlights were Edun, Alexander Wang (despite its alarming similarities to Dion Lee and Tufi Duek’s work), Helmut Lang, DKNY, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Reed Krakoff, Narciso Rodriguez, Nicholas K, Dion Lee, Rag & Bone and probably more that I’ve forgotten.

Those who follow me on Instagram will have seen these before (sorry), but here are some photos some purchases, tasty food, my typewriter whose ribbon I still haven’t replaced, amazing novels, and some pretty flowers.

“To be truly modern, you must be aware of the past.” – LP33.3 designers Luke and Paul

Recently the very talented Bianca from Sargasso Sea and I partnered up, and, with the help of some amazing creatives, put together a photo essay that reflects the fusion of classic beauty & character with a contemporary mode of style. Sydney label LP33.3 graciously imparted to us pieces from their S/S range, titled ‘The Sirens’, and it’s through these luxe garments that we attempted to embody classical femme fatale characters with a modern edge.

Here are some photos I took behind the scenes while photographer Ben Robinson did what he does best. I’ll be able to share the published series with you soon. I hope you enjoy these photos in the meantime. And yes, that is a bearded dragon named Artemis on the delicate shoulders of model, Brooke Jamieson.
